"Kick Out US Bases from Okinawa and Jeju, and China Will Build their Own" by Michio Ezaki -- (a very smart writer)
This is all part of that information war we keep talking about. The
Comfort Women scam. Incessant talk of Japanese war crimes, some real,
many fake, but long ago in any case, are all part of this.
The
operation is designed to split US-ROK-Japan relations. It is working
well against ROK. The US and Japan are distancing themselves piece by
piece. It is not working with US-Japan. (They have had some enemy successes, but we are starting to win at keeping our relations strong.)

The ultimate target is the USA. And mark my word, there will be more
lawsuits in the future against Americans for things like sex-slavery.
One goal we uncovered deals with this scenario.
First they have
gotten us to demand that Japan make apologies and reparations. Later
they will spin this back on us to do the same. We have found a smoking
gun. This is the plan. Part of the plan, anyway.
